iPhone 6, or 6 Plus? See, heres the problem: Apple has added two phones at once for the first time. And theyre both pretty similar. So which one do you pick? The good news is that the iPhone 6, which feels great to hold, has nearly all the same features as the 6 Plus. The iPhone 6 and the 6 Plus both have larger screens than previous iPhones. They both have new A8 processors. They both have 16, 64, or 128GB of storage. They both come in three colors: white/silver, white/gold, and space gray, which is black/darker silver. The differences between the two arent that tremendous, but theyre important. The 6 has a 4.7-inch, 1,344x750-pixel display. The 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch, 1,920x1,080-pixel display, plus optical image stabilization in the camera and the ability to run more apps in horizontal-landscape mode, with split-screen effects like an iPad. Its also significantly bigger, and weighs more -- but it does have a longer battery life. Youre not losing much with the 6. But its not the absolute top of the line, and maybe that bugs you. If it does, get the 6 Plus. For potential buyers of both phones, heres how it breaks down: For owners of older iPhones looking to upgrade, these new iPhones are massive leaps in screen size. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will probably be more than enough, but the 6 Plus may be downright intimidating unless youre looking for a mini-tablet. For Android owners who once jumped ship from iOS and want to come back, this is the iPhone generation youve been waiting for. Its the best iPhone since the iPhone 5. Back then, 4G LTE and an improved screen and camera made the difference. This time, a larger screen, a fast processor, NFC with Apple Pay (although likely only that), the additional customization features of iOS 8, and bumped-up storage tiers go a long way to close the feature gap with current top Android phones.
